Summer Savings Series: Stop the Splurge

Although summertime is the season of being carefree, often having summer fun isn’t exactly free. Between vacations, holiday BBQs, and having the kids at home full-time, it’s easy for the bills to start adding up.

As part of our Summer Savings Series, here are some tips to avoid overspending without sacrificing any summer excitement:

  1. Cancel your streaming subscription services: What better way to get the kids outside? “Cut the cord” on your memberships to streaming platforms (temporarily, of course). It may not seem like it’s worth it at first, but those “few bucks” from each subscription are sure to add up!
  2. Try camping: Consider exchanging palm trees for pine trees. Grab some camping gear and head to a local campground or state park. If you’re new to camping, perhaps try a night camping with the family or friends in your backyard.
  3. Skip the car wash: Is it super-hot out and the kids are looking for something to do? Sounds like the perfect time for an old-fashioned car wash right in the driveway! Take the money you saved and add to your kids’ chore allowance, if they have one.
  4. Take up gardening: With the rising cost of groceries, there’s no better time than now to start the vegetable garden in your backyard that you’ve been putting off. Start small with supplies you already have. Plus, it’s a great outdoor hobby for summer!
  5. Bring the gym to you: Save by cancelling your gym membership as early as May though as late as September. That’s nearly half the year! Invest in some workout items for the house or simply go on outdoor runs. Who wants to be on a treadmill indoors when you could be soaking up the sun with an outdoor workout?

It’s important to note that just because you’re saving some extra money in one place, doesn’t mean you should simply spend it in another. Instead, put the cash you saved directly in your savings account.
